MagicJack Problems
Occasionally people run into some MagicJack problems, especially when they first start using the device. This article will provide a brief outline of some of the most common problems as well as the simple solutions which one can try out in order to fix them. If these don’t work then you will have to either do further, more in depth research, or else consult your manual or the company themselves. Luckily, the device is overall a pretty simple thing to use and for the most part people don’t run into any major problems with it. Nevertheless, just in case they do, that is why this article has been prepared here for you today.
First of all, you should make sure your Windows Operating System (or OS) is working properly. Make sure you don’t have any bugs or viruses. You probably already have the appropriate software pre-installed in order to run certain scans to check this sort of thing out. Do that and then delete any problems that are on your hard drive. Also, one should make sure their memory is sufficient and is allocated in an appropriate manner to allow the proper functioning of the MagicJack platform. Many problems can be traced back to just simply memory issues within the computer. Unless your system is very old, those can often be fixed by some sort of an update or “cleaning”.
Another tip that I have heard people mention in order to get rid of pesky problems is to restart the computer once a week. This kind of cleans out the cobwebs that accumulate. If your computer is older you may even want to restart once (or even more frequently) per day. (This is what I have to do with mine.) Also, one should unplug and replug the device from the computer at least once a month. This works to reset everything and get a clean, level playing field.
Finally, use an A/C powered USB hub when you plug in the Magic Jack. You won’t have to pay more than $10 for this simple device so it is really worth it. It often helps to solve a lot of typical Magic Jack problems before they become totally out of control. A lot of this is pure and simple common sense, but people tend to get overwhelmed, especially when they are first using this voip phone service. Just remember that most problems are a lot easier to fix than they might seem at first. Take a deep breath and start trying out these solutions.

Problem: Recently purchased a MagicJack and never
had any problems of setting up or using. My problem is incoming local calls in my town are charged a long distance charge even if they are in the same block. The area codes that were offered were only 4 numbers.
I am returning the device because I think it was misleading not knowing this prior to purchase.

We are not receiving our phones calls. Callers say the (our) number has been disconnected. What is the problem. Also, we cannot call out. We paid for the service in full for two years. Please respond ASAP!
My Magicjack initializes fine, and if I use it right after it starts up, the calls work fine and quality is good. My problem is that after a few minutes of non – use, I get no dial tone and have to restart it from scratch. It seems to “time out”. This is a fairly recent problem, I suspect from a so called “upgrade”. I also found out from working with their tech support that if you use any longer USB extension than the one they give you, it doesn’t work. The light won’t stay on the little module but for a few seconds. Seems to me like the sensitivity is very poor. Is it recommended that you buy the powered USB extension ? MJ Tech support did not say anything about it.
